Darius Miles - Terrorist or Weedhead?

"Former professional basketball player and East St. Louis native Darius Miles was arrested Wednesday at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport for allegedly trying to bring a loaded firearm through security, authorities said. Miles, 29, was arrested about 3:30 p.m. after Transportation Security Administration personnel discovered the weapon during an X-ray screening at the airport, according to information from a TSA spokeswoman and a jail official. Miles was arrested by St. Louis airport police, then booked into the St. Louis County jail in Clayton. It was unclear whether the gun was found in luggage or whether Miles was carrying it. The weapon was discovered at the Concourse A checkpoint. Authorities did not say what type of gun was seized."

In non-related awesome news - here are some awesome jpgs of Darius's car - which has Ben Franklin puffing a J airbrushed on the hood.

Bonus pic: Darius getting arrested for weed in a different car. I rest my case.

CliffsNotes of Jerry Sloan's Wiki Page

Born and raised in Gobbler's Knob, fifteen miles south of McLeansboro, Illinois, Sloan was one of ten children being raised by a single mother. He would wake up at 4.30 a.m. to do farm chores and then walk almost two miles to get to school in time for 7 a.m. basketball practice. Sloan graduated an all-state player from McLeansboro High School in 1960. He spent around five weeks at the University of Illinois then quit school due to homesickness. After working for a time at the oil fields, Sloan moved to the University of Evansville. He played college basketball under Evansville coach Arad McCutchan even as he worked part-time making refrigerators for Whirlpool. Sloan is known to wear John Deere hats and to collect and restore John Deere tractors as a hobby. After years of a self-confessed habit of drinking and smoking too much, he has since stopped both, although he has claimed that it never affected him nor his coaching.

The Lockout - a photographic essay

Please pardon my lack of human words as I post these images of the Sith Lord. The idea of no 2011-2012 NBA season is frightening and bizarre.

Here Sith Stern sits and bullsh*ts with Adam Darth Silver - potential Weasel Heir

That wavy white bro with mustachioed Stern is Larry O'Brien - sound familiar?

How can you root against Billy Hunter, the NBAPA Head Honcho - here he is about to pop some bottles of Veuve Clicqout with good old Al Harrington. You go Billy - get it in bro!

Irreconcilable Differences

You can't make this stuff up: Tony Parker aka the French rapper TP was boinking Erin Barry, wife of 1996 NBA Slam Dunk Champion Brent Barry...so Brent and Eva filed for divorce from their partners citing irreconcilable differences. Ms Longoria has asked that TP keep away from her money 'cause she's richer than him. Plus his rap name is short for toilet paper - how about MC Shit-Tickets Tony?

Month 1 - State of the League Address

The ‘10-‘11 NBA season is just over 1 month old - here are my ruminations

Eat my bullet-points part deux (pause):

• Landry Fields is vying for Rookie of the Year (best rookie in November) - Who woulda thunk it?
• The Kanix are decent - I'm holding my breath waiting for the spoiler(s) - Let's Go Knicks!
• Sith Lord Stern bought the New Orleans Hornets - if I was Dell Demps I would make all types of luxury tax trades and make the NBA pick up the tab...seriously how does this work?
• Antoine Walker joins the Idaho Stampede - drops 13 points and 1 technical foul in first game back (welcome back to nowhere bro)
• Blake Griffin is still Rookie of the Year (see Mozgov facerape below)
• The Heat are small - but still better than every other East team not named Celtics
• There's the Lakers and there's the rest of the West - fast forward to Finals
• The Pacers are going to make the playoffs?! (prolly not tho)
• The lockout is looming large - I want to be a scab player - where do I sign up?

Dwight Howard - Somehow Superman is still underrated and still quite strange: "Dwight Howard wants to imbue the NBA logo with the Christian cross in an attempt to spread Christianity."

The Answer: Starting PG for Beşiktaş Cola Turka!?

I am not mad at all - Allen "The Answer" Iverson has arrived in Istanbul to resume his professional basketball career. Larry Brown expressed regret that no NBA team would hire Iverson and players around the league were baffled that he couldn't get a contract. I for one am pleased that he has taken his talents overseas - it should be a good experience for him and I guarantee the highlights are going to be awesome. As much as I want to see him back in the L - let's see what he does in Turkey. Iverson has promised the Beşiktaş Cola Turka fans "something they haven't seen before." No sh*t Sherlock - we all know it could get ugly but no matter what it's going to be spectacular.

Here's awesome video of Turkish fans welcoming Iverson at the airport:

Rajon Rondo (24 assists?)

The ‘10-‘11 NBA season is one week old and we have plenty to talk about. 

Here are some of my observations and predictions. 

Eat my bullet-points (pause):

• The Celtics are angry and ready for their Finals rematch vs The Lakers
•  KG is so spit-froth angry he called Charlie Villanueva a cancer patient (hilariously redacted)
• The Lakers will win the '10-'11 Finals rematch unless Shaq becomes Kazaam
• Landry Fields is actually a decent NBA player
• Blake Griffin is Rookie of the Year
• John Wall - future All Star (24 pts, 13 dimes, & 9 steals?)
• Yao Ming’s 24 minute rule is stupid and self-defeating
• The Heat will win 65 games
• T-Mac has knees made of charcoal dust - finito
